Jendouba: Tunisia’s Green Frontier of Mountains and Memory

Type: Land of Olives & Traditions

Cradled in the emerald highlands of northwest Tunisia, Jendouba is where the air smells of pine and rain, and every valley tells a story older than empire. Between forested peaks and flowing rivers, this region embodies a gentler rhythm — one of mountain mist, Roman echoes, and rural grace.

From the red-roofed charm of Aïn Draham to the majestic ruins of Bulla Regia, Jendouba is a living museum of nature and civilization. Here, olive groves share the land with chestnut forests, and ancient cities sleep beneath rolling green hills.

Bulla Regia: The Underground City of Light and Shadow

Just outside Jendouba lies one of Tunisia’s most fascinating archaeological wonders — Bulla Regia, the Roman city built partly underground to escape the summer heat. Its subterranean villas, adorned with mosaics of gods and seasons, reveal the artistry of a people who mastered both earth and beauty.

“In Jendouba, history hides in the earth — and beauty rises from beneath the stones.”

Aïn Draham: Tunisia’s Highland Haven

Perched on a forested ridge near the Algerian border, Aïn Draham is a world apart. The scent of pine, the crisp mountain air, and the mist-covered roads make it one of Tunisia’s most romantic escapes. Once a French colonial hill station, it now charms visitors with red-tiled houses, hidden waterfalls, and cozy winter lodges.

Whether you come to breathe the fog, hike the cedar forests, or simply sip tea beside a crackling fire, Aïn Draham invites stillness — a reminder that luxury sometimes means silence, scent, and serenity.
